HAPPY END

Rating: M

Length: 107 mins

Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Mathieu Kassovitz

A drama about a family set in Calais with the European refugee crisis as the backdrop.

“It is not a new direction for this film-maker, admittedly, but an existing direction pursued with the same dazzling inspiration as ever. It is also as gripping as a satanically inspired soap opera, a dynasty of lost souls.” THE GUARDIAN (UK)

“As an austere and darkly comic family drama, and a scathing commentary about the kind of world our children are living in, Happy End is stunning cinema.” THE PLAYLIST.

“Haneke’s magisterial control of tone, actor and shot is not to be underestimated: there are scenes of quiet, nuanced authority and menace here that, true to form, compel our attention with their glacial brilliance.”
